What service would you highly
recommend students utilize from our Career Services
and why?
Aside from the wide array of literature you can
look at in the Career Resource Room, I would definitely
look at what our website has to offer. There are
many links that can help with choosing a major,
finding a job, information about graduate school,
and of course a direct link to our services through
GauchoLink. GauchoLink alone can hook you up with
finding a job or internship. You can even get set
up with interviews right in our building which
can lead to not just a job, but an actual career.
After you get tired of looking at all the hard
copy and virtual stuff, you can stop by and talk
to one of us, a career peer or an actual counselor
to help you out with resumes or just to calm your
fears about an upcoming interview. Sometimes talking
to an actual person can be very beneficial.
What makes your current job as a career peer
advisor special for you?
What do you like most about working for Career
Services? I love the atmosphere! The entire staff
is completely devoted to helping people. I don't
think I have ever had a job where everyone, including
myself, actually want to be at work. We all love
what we do and I think that really comes accross
to the people we help. The people here are fantastic
and of course the networking and
professional skill building are a definite plus!
After graduation, what
is your career goal?
After I graduate I am planning to jump right
into grad school in hopes of obtaining a master's
degree in counseling. After working here I
can't really see myself anywhere else, Cheesy
but true.
Anything else you would like to share with students?
I think the best advice I could give students
is to use our services NOW, while you can because
we really can help. After you graduate we can't
help you out anymore but as a student you are
free to use any, actually, all of our services.
Also, don't be afraid to approach us, we are
people too and we want to help. Thanks for
reading my spiel, best of luck with everything
you do!
